The Holy Family of Nazareth, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, is the model and protector of every Christian home. Like every family, they knew hardship, poverty, travel, and worry, and the Church celebrates them on the Sunday after Christmas.
This prayer asks their blessing on your household and the grace to bear with one another, forgive quickly, and serve each other. Pray it together at dinner or bedtime, during times of tension or conflict, when family members are estranged, or when blessing a new home. Couples can make it part of their daily prayer, and parents can pray it over their children.
The Prayer
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless our home. Keep us in holiness and peace. Help us to bear with one another in love, to forgive quickly, and to serve one another for Thy sake. Amen.
